About the game

Your team has just been recruited by a department that officially doesn't exist. Its job is to investigate unexplained paranormal activity, and right now there's a lot of it about.

As the hour goes on, the case files get stranger: mysterious messages, unexplained events, witnesses whose stories don't quite match and evidence that really shouldn't be possible. One of the employees in the files isn't what they seem. In fact, they may not be alive at all.

The catch is that every team holds different pieces of evidence. Only by sharing what you know can you see the whole picture and solve the final paranormal mystery.

What to expect

  • Case files packed with evidence, photos and strange reports
  • Work out which employee is really a ghost
  • Decode messages from the spirit world
  • Decide which witnesses are telling the truth
  • A final mystery that needs everyone's evidence to crack

Questions

Is it scary?

No. It's eerie and funny rather than frightening, so it suits every workplace.

How does a hosted virtual game work?

Everyone joins your usual video call. We split the group into teams of up to 10, each in its own breakout room with a dedicated host who shares the game on screen and types in the answers the team agrees on. A live leaderboard keeps the competition going.

How far ahead do we need to book?

At least 48 hours ahead, Monday to Friday. Same-day sessions are sometimes possible on request: book as usual and we will confirm as quickly as we can.

Is there a minimum or maximum group size?

There is no maximum. The minimum booking is £150 + VAT, so groups under 13 people pay the minimum.
